Tiki torches are outdoor lighting devices often used for decoration and ambiance in gardens, patios, and during outdoor gatherings. They typically consist of a tall pole made of bamboo or metal, topped with a container that holds fuel, such as kerosene or citronella oil. The fuel is ignited, creating a flame that provides light and can help repel insects. These torches are commonly associated with Polynesian culture and are popular at summer parties and luaus. They come in various styles and sizes, allowing for creative arrangements in outdoor spaces. Tiki torches can enhance the atmosphere and provide a warm glow during evening events.
